About the Item

This exceptional Golden Calcite specimen comes from the Sokolovskoe Iron Mine in Qostaney Oblysy, Kazakhstan: an increasingly scarce and sought-after locale for mineral collectors. Showcasing a rich honey-gold hue, this impressive large cabinet specimen features multiple sharply defined twinned Calcite crystals dramatically positioned atop a contrasting matrix. Among the finest examples recovered from the mine, this museum-grade Golden Calcite is not only notable for its saturated color and the clarity of its large, fully-formed crystal but also for its rarity, scale, and aesthetics. This Calcite offers timeless visual appeal and high collectible value. Weight: 25 lb.
